.@TriTAG was featured in the news today on how to speed up Waterloo's ION LRT! Check it out in the thread and links below (1/8) – at Waterloo, Ontario
Ion trains are slower than buses. How can we speed them up? Rail transit in Kitchener and Waterloo carries one-third fewer passengers than projected upon launch in 2019. therecord.com/news/waterloo-…

Fun Fact: Ever heard of the proposed GO Transit Kitchener-London Line? This line was proposed by the Government of Ontario in 2014 as a way to enhance transit connectivity between these cities after the Toronto-London High Speed Rail Line opened. This line was never built.

The chaos that is Kitchener GO when trains arrive is something else. The lack of a proper pick up area + no bus priority creates a mess of ppl unloading on the road blocking busses, & parking lots in businesses nearby. Kitchener Central Transit Hub can't come soon enough!
So excited to see Waterloo Region's first planned bus lanes around the future Kitchener Central Transit Hub! The first two questions councillors asked about the project were about lack of parking for the GO station... It has 65 surface parking spaces & 22 taxi/PPUDO spots

The disappearance of a station building in this project is partly a function of how poor Ontario has become at controlling cost escalation. therecord.com/news/waterloo-…

Are you fed up with trains being infrequent, slow, or late? A Fair Rail For Passengers Act would allow more passenger trains to run on time while keeping freight moving too. Sign our petition to Parliament: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…
